Availability
There is always someone home or available. I work & study remotely. I do provide talking dog buttons. If your dog uses them let me know & we will have them available with words your dog uses & hopefully learn some new ones! Anything that is trending that promoted positive life quality for dogs I usually have on hand or am incorporating it into use Each day I incorporate daily walks, cuddles, & basic training. Basic training is eye contact, leash & buddy walking. I provide one on one time for the dogs each daily. I make sure no dog feels left out.

Safety, trust & environment
In the summer months their last night of boarding they get a special walk to the ice cream store to enjoy a pup cup & extra one on one time. On weekends in the summers. I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie pool, water sprinklers and shade in the backyard. In the summer I offer water play daily! They have free will to come in & out of the house into the fenced in yard all day! In the fall & winter months the dogs can enjoy outside time by a warm outdoor doggie bonfire. There are areas they can romp in the leaves & explore. I also incorporate daily walks weather permitting. On colder days or rainy days we have a rainy paw day. If the dogs are open to it they can enjoy some doggy stretches, Spaw services such as coconut oil rubs on their paw pads, homemade doggie treats, and dog related movies and cuddles!

A typical day
Everyday there is a AM & PM walk. I base the walks on dog size, age & stamina so no one is overtired & each dog has a choice to stay back & rest in the house or to participate. Usually they all say yes! Each day I provide one activity in addition to the daily walk. Here is a breakdown of what your pets stay looks like! The first day of boarding is focused on settling in & a walk with friends. Everyday I do a paw pad check if allowed they can also get a coconut oil rub on paws. The following days I provide a daily activity. such as doggy stretches & massage doggy cooking/ sampling dog friendly treats & food pup cups Glow ball fetch stuffed bones & doggy bonfire In the summer I offer water play daily. This includes ice bowls with dog friendly fresh fruit, kiddie pool, water sprinklers & squishy water balls Spaw activities I include are brushing/light grooming, one on one time, paw pad check with paw pad fur trim & coconut oil paw pad rub. I do not trim nails but I can work on filing them if needed just ask. 🩵 My repeat clients know to grab a bone or yard pretzel when they see me prepping the fire pit! It's so cute! On the last night of your dogs stay they can have a pup cup or a doggy bonfire. For pup cups we walk to our local ice cream shop with friends! Again all of the above is included!! If your dog is only staying a few days or popping in for doggy day care let me know what activities they would like & I will do them!

Reviews
We were nervous leaving Rosie with a new sitter for a 2- week period but Holly was great! She quickly learned Rosie’s habits and interests and gave her LOTS of attention. Even when there was a storm during the night and Rosie was nervous, Holly stayed with her until it passed and Rosie settled back down. Holly provided regular updates and lots of pictures. She really means it when she wants to provide a “vacation and fun” experience to her guests! We were worried Rosie wouldn’t want to come back home 😂. We would highly recommend Holly for any boarding needs
My puppy had such an amazing time with Holly. The frequent updates and pictures were great.
My dogs didn’t want to come home! Holly took them for walks, treated them to pup cups, and they got to play with her dogs. Leaving them with Holly reduces the stress of leaving them because I know they will be well taken care of.
100% Happy with Holly, both beagle Kira and us pet parents!
